Appalachian trends. R.F. Baker told me during the day that the Trend of the Tescus Out in the Marathon uplift is N.E.-S.W. just the opposite of the Rocky out trend This strike then is not at all in harmony with that of the Cenestral Rockies of Lee. This is an important matter and needs looking into. All men had a profitable day. Saturday Feb 27-1926 Houston At noon R.F. Baker and I got started in his car for Galveston on the Gulf shore. The distance by road is about 50 miles and in all this area the slope to sea-level is only 40 feet. The land is as level as a table and when drained (ditches) is good farm land to within about 10 miles of the Gulf. Fif farms are much in advertising. Towards Houston all the streams are cut down to sea level with standing water.
